A CW Lewis-ism
I was just enlightened that the whole Narnia series is not meant to be an allegory…but a ‘what if’ story, a thought experiment. What if Christ came as a lion to a made up land, Narnia, and how would that story go down. Thanks Peter Kreeft for giving me some sense where I lacked. As Kreeft states: “the Narnia series is an imaginative supposition.” A great way to put it.
I am not sure if I thought of the difference between an allegory and a ‘thought experiment’ but I should have. I have misled many and told them the Narnia series is an allegory.
